The Beheading of Saint John the Baptist
Tuesday of week 21 in Ordinary Time
First reading – Jeremiah 1:17-19
“Do not be dismayed at their presence, or in their presence I will make you dismayed”. The Lord is the one in action. Are we aware of this fact? The Lord is the one who makes me, “a fortified city, a pillar of iron, and a wall of bronze, to confront all this land: the kings of Judah, its princes, its priests and the country people. They will fight against you but shall not overcome you, for I am with you to deliver you, it is the Lord who speaks.’ Let’s reflect: Am I aware of the work of God in me?
